About Alessia Ucelli

My family owned this property since the 1800, and it's pretty much still the same.

I'm a real estate agent and I live in Carmel, Ca.

Why Alessia Ucelli chose Portofino

Paraggi is very exclusive, known for having attracted celebrities and very traditional Italian families since it's surrounded by Villas and Castles.

A walk brings you to the famous harbor of Portofino (15 minutes on foot, 5 minutes with a lift) - this fine harbor, where grand yachts lie at anchor, where VIPs stroll along the promenade, where exquisite fish restaurants and elegant designer shops decorate the picturesque bay.

As always with Portofino, it is best to arrive with a large yacht. If this is not possible, take the train to Santa Margherita and then a taxi to Portofino. There is also a bus service between Santa Margherita and Portofino (travels in both directions, which runs every 20 minutes, depending on the season): Portofino can be reached from S. Margherita by bus in 10 minutes.

There is a ferry from Portofino to S. Margherita/Rapallo/5 Terre/Camogli/S. Fruttuoso. Water taxis are 100 Euros per hour. Pick up service at Genova airport can be arranged (about 100 Euros, reservation at least 10 days before arrival is required).

Our group of 8 (4 couples) spent a wonderful 6 days here enjoying both the space and privacy of the villa as well as many day trips to surrounding locations. The villa was well equipped to cater for 8 people but we also enjoyed meals in the varied restaurants just a 5 min walk down the steps. The pool was a welcome refresh after a long day out and of course the views from the outdoor areas were spectacular.

Great property in the best location on the coast

We stayed in the villa for four days last summer (2012), and all I can say is I wish I could return to it. It was one of the best experiences of the trip. The location couldn't be better - a five minute walk from the emerald green waters of Paraggi (one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy), away from all the buzzing vespas and cars, but close enough to be able to go back and forth from the villa to the beach multiple times. The villa is surrounded by plush greenery and beautifully colored plants and peace and quiet are the only sounds you hear from the patio.

The house itself is solidly built and has a lot of character and history and we found it to be spacious and comfortable. All the necessities were there and if anything was needed Cristina and Michele were always a phone call away and very kind and helpful. The photos don't do justice to the beauty of the villa and its surroundings. I highly recommend it for vacation travelers who want to explore the area around Portofino and the Cinque Terre without spending all of their time in the most touristy areas.

a really special place

The house was truely wonderful for us. It has a lot of character and the garden with the view is exceptional. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The kids had a lot of space to run and explore as well.

NOTE:
The Villa is a 4 story historic Villa from the 1900, and it's been divided in 4 different rentals with very private entrances.
There might be other guests staying on the other floors during your stay.
